Public bug reported:
Sample code:
function autoCrash()
tempTimer(5,[[echo("This will crash 5 seconds after mudlet profile is
closed")]])
-- tempTimer(5,[[send("This will crash 5 seconds after mudlet profile is
closed")]]) -- only when send output is set to 'on' in settings
-- tempTimer(5,[[reconnect()]]) -- this will crash mudlet 5 seconds after
profile is closed
end
registerAnonymousEventHandler("sysDisconnectionEvent","autoCrash")
Explanation:
Any output to the profile's window after it has been closed will crash
mudlet. ANY output at all - Any function that will output anything,
including reconnect(), echo() send() [send only when the 'show text sent
to MUD'], etc.
The only way this can happen is via the sysDisconnectEvent and a
tempTimer or by enableTimer() on a timer that will output something.
Otherwise, all timers (temp and permanent) are disabled at profile
close.
The culprit appears to be that sysDisconnectEvent is called, whether the
profile is connected or disconnected, at the close of the profile. This
is probably to terminate any open connections to the MUD. However, it is
being called after all timers have been disabled. If you try this same
tempTimer in an alias, then close the profile before it fires, you will
have no crash.
